Shimomura - Gyuto Knife, Stainless Steel 240mm

The broad heel and pointed tip give this gyuto a versatile cutting profile, from chopping vegetables to slicing boneless meat. Its 240 mm edge provides more cutting length than the TU-9004 without moving to the longest stocked gyuto.

The knife measures 365 mm overall and weighs 210 g, with a 2.3 mm blade thickness. Compare the TU-9004 at 210 mm and TU-9006 at 270 mm when matching the knife to your board space and preferred stroke length.

Hand wash after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then rinse and dry the blade, bolster and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden grip or leaving the knife wet in a sink; use a dishwasher only when the product is expressly marked as dishwasher-safe.

Work on a suitable cutting board and protect the edge during storage. Do not force or twist the blade through frozen food or hard bones. When the edge needs restoring, use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service suitable for the knife’s original edge geometry.
